This week's piece is about Passion. I started writing it after a recalling more than one conversation in which an artist was about to embark on their creative journey and would be relying on their Passion to fill in the gaps of knowledge and experience.

The piece was easy enough to write—I've had this very conversation for over two decades in discussing why expectations and circumstances don't always add up when compared to what we see of “successful” people. I hope you'll dig the piece, and I hope you'll find it useful enough to pass along to someone who is on their own journey.
